Gah need to write about bone formation for PBL - the lecturer didn't turn up to the lecture today, and the powerpoint on blackboard makes no sense. Anyone know where I can find an easy to understand, step by step process of the two different types of formation? Bearing in mind this is due tomorrow :puppyeyes:

Tortora is god.

2nd shift with the FRU Crew today! Totally knackered but yesterday's adrenaline rush was too awesome! Driving in their cars feels like a computer game. They fit through the tiniest of gaps with an insane speed. Unreal. I just want to scream in exitement every time we do a bend or turn insanely fast - it's like legal joyriding! :p:

Ahhh, I feel like such a kid!

The guy I'm with is a legend and asked if I wanted to do more shifts than is required for this SSC. Me being the total keeno I am totally agreed! :teeth:

Oh. I tend to forget about that :colondollar:

I pay pretty much the same here as I would in any other part of the UK.

Yes, but Scottish people don't have to pay any tuition fees, as I recall? So the government must be entirely funding them through the whole five/six years, which is not a small investment, as I see it! And if they are unable to get a job at the end of it, it just seems a bit counter-productive.

By that argument, the government should stop funding all these fashion management and media studies students... They all do 4 years at uni for nothing.

In a sense, £12k of fees is pissing in the wind when it comes to the cost of the degree.

FML. Have to transcribe a 5 minute patient interview to analyse for comm skills coursework. 45 minutes in, and I'm up to 3 minutes 30. :facepalm2:

On the plus side I did practice end-to-end, end-to-side and patch anastomosis. At first I was a butcher but then got a lot better.
Prolene sutures are a frigging nightmare if you guys have used them before. blehhhh

I've got used to not doing PBL, and now I cba :sigh:

It's actually an interesting topic (and we're finally learning clinical stuff!!) but I just cannot motivate myself to do any work.

Help? :puppyeyes:

EDIT: Although I have to share a joke that one of my lecturers today told us all. What's a Norfolk virgin?

Not all of it, and it's a good starting point before going on to other things (then you find out if things aren't right) :yep:

Best idea I've heard in a while.

Really silly question, but I've seen different cannulae used, and all seem to attach to triple ports (the bits hanging off for you to put lines in) are they all individually capped - as in capped from the outside world? If not, why dosn't blood come out? - and don't say venous pressure, because when you insert the cannula the flashback pressure is enough. Really silly question I know.
